You discover that you have access to a forbidden magic–the ability to turn back time.

Every choice you make matters, and will change the outcome of this massive 225,000-word interactive story, leading to one of multiple endings. Immerse yourself within the emotional soundtrack and explore the non-linear maps.

AppleVis reported: “The team behind Timecrest has developed a close and positive relationship with the AppleVis community since being asked to improve the accessibility of the game.
